    AbstractIn response to a shortage of medical teachers and scientists, A.C.M.C. began "Operation Retrieval" in 1967 in an effort to contact and to survey graduates of Canadian medical schools who are interns and residents in the United States. This paper describes the publications produced for these graduates, and the concerns of graduates as discovered by on-site visits to Los Angeles, Boston and New York. These concerns centre around difficulties in communication with Canada. This paper also gives a statistical report on the numbers of graduates who are interns and residents in the United States, and the locations, fields of specialization and years of graduation of residents. The decreasing numbers are believed to reflect improving Canadian facilities as well as difficulties associated with the American military draft.
